I use my car all year round but lately the weather hasn't been good, has it!

Woke up early this morning and the day got better and better, so, before the Grand Prix started I took the car for a run and joy'o'joy the roads were great. Warm, dry and not too busy. An hour of fun and taking the rust off of my driving "ability!" ahem. Some triple figured driving and the home to leave the car smelling of brakes and oil, resting with the tink tink of cooling metal. Aaaah! Then the F1. Brilliant.

Anyone else? The bikers were certainly out in force.

Sorry, just realized that it's not the first good day that people have had a hoon. Oh well, here's to many more great days from now on.

Err, not really, went to start it and the battery was dead. Stuck it on charge (which reminds me I better take it off in a mo), but lost all enthusiasm for it, so it stayed in the garage today. Did about 4 miles in it to the MOT station and back last week (had to charge it up then aswell to get it there), then about 2-3 miles about a month prior to that. That is all it has done really since about October.

Similar here, went out for one run to check the operation of my new Emerald around Christmas time and not been out since. Took it out yesterday (after fixing a sticky starter solenoid) to wash the muck off from TiTT4!
